Editor Paul Zucker has joined Rock Paper Scissors for commercial representation in the US. A member of the honorary society of American Cinema Editors, Zucker is best-known for being the series editor on HBO’s seminal hit, Girls and the feature comedy Trainwreck starring Amy Schumer.

As a commercial editor, Zucker edited the brand-defining “Stress Test” campaign for Secret (P&G) and Wieden+Kennedy, Portland with directors Aoife McArdle and Gia Coppola. Other commercial collaborations include Old Navy with Wayne McClammy and State Farm with Hoffman/Metoyer.

Zucker’s narrative comedy work also includes Mike Judge’s HBO hit-series Silicon Valley and This is 40 with Apatow. Not limited by category, Zucker has also edited on behalf of contemporary auteurs Michel Gondry on Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Harmony Korine on Mister Lonely, and Gus van Sant’s cult-classic, Gerry. Among his accolades are Eternal Sunshine’s BAFTA Award for Best Editing and an ACE Award nomination for Trainwreck.

“Paul command of the craft is limitless; he’s worked in every genre and form,” explains Rock Paper Scissors Managing Director Eve Kornblum. “We couldn’t be more excited to have an editor as beloved and respected as Paul join us.” Raná Martin, Executive Producer at Rock Paper Scissors, Los Angeles, added: “Paul always seems to be in the middle of the cultural zeitgeist; we’re excited to help foster that energy here at RPS.”

Zucker is equally sanguine about his new home: “Rock Paper Scissors is always associated with the highest caliber work, and so many of their editors are voracious in their form; it’s truly an inspiring place to continue my commercial work.”

Submitting press releases to Source Creative could not be easier. Simply send a press release and any accompanying images to sourcenews@extremereach.com and we will consider it for the site and newsletter. If the release has associated films, please make sure you have either uploaded them to the site or attached a link to the email.

Some things to note:

When it comes to images, the bigger the better. We need the header image to be at least 720x404 pixels, but it is much easier to cut large images down to size than expanding smaller ones. Landscape images often look a lot better than portrait ones too.

Word docs make us happy. PDFs do not.

Releases should be at least 150-200 words.

We link articles internally to pages on the Source Creative site, rather than external websites.

Press releases from member companies are prioritised.

If your images or films are too large to email, free file-sending services like WeTransfer and
Dropbox are ideal.
